The Rundown: Horton Outduels Skenes, Cubs on Precipice of Playoff Berth, Raleigh Breaks Mantle’s Record

“Boyhood memories seem like yesterday.” Old Days by Chicago

The Cubs have an early game today, so this is going to be a quick one. They will clinch their first playoff berth since 2020 and their first during a full regular season since 2018 if they beat the Pirates today. Cade Horton bested Paul Skenes on Tuesday, and the Chicago hurler looks like a cinch to win this year’s NL Rookie of the Year Award. The emerging ace may even tally a few votes for the Cy Young.
